thank you spilt for sharing your story, 21 hours of established labour your a trooper, you really are. I dont think I would have been able to handle that. I bet its all worth it though isnt it. Ive got a bit of a jealous face on but Im so happy for you too.

Evening all! Had a nice visit of SIL today, her and DD had lots of fun singing on the Wii.

Been doing some symptom spotting the last few days... did a test yesterday but negative.
But had an incredible urge to eat sweet stuff for a few days and constantly hungry. Been going to the toilet more often as well. And I've been having very bad headaches too.

Will just have to wait it out though

When is AF not due, Blue? Maybe you're just testing a bit early. Are you testing again tomorrow, or are you going to leave it for a little while?

Ha, Jane, if I see a party bus going around town in October I'll know it's you! I hope you have a great time. I didn't have much of a hen party because we were all knackered (top tip: do not get trashed the night before the hen do!) - we went and had our hair trial in the afternoon, which took about 3 hours, had a takeaway and then went out dressed up in burlesque clothes - corsets and petticoats and things, which was great fun. We were actually too tired to go clubbing after the pub shut, though, and were home in bed by 1.30!

Green, I was a teeny bit jealous too. Spilt, I really am over the moon for you, but there was a little bit of me reading that and going Envy I want that! I know that I, and in fact all of us, will have it eventually, but the waiting is so hard!

Bluetinkerbell · 29/08/2011 20:24

too if I would have a normal 28 day cycle 3th of September, but I don't have a clue how long it is going to be... with Sterre I had quite a long one.
I do tend to have lots of negative tests before I test positive. Although now that I think back of it, I tested positive 12 days after conception with Sterre.

blue fx your just testing too early.

too Aqueous cream is a really simple cream, that costs nothing. Ive used it as its kind to my skin (have sensitive skin) its a white cream that can be bought in any chemist, if I remember the one in boots is under £2.

spilt please forgive my jealousy, We will all get there, your just the first, you lucky thing. I hope shes behaving herself Little Freya and not keeping mummy up all night.

Jane that sounds like a lot of fun, I had a girlie sleepover for my hen do as my bff was very pg at the time, it was like being 15 again, watching movies, truth or dare, lots of giggeling. Had a lot of fun.

razzdazz · 29/08/2011 20:43

Evening Smile
jane november will be a fab month for a wedding, i always think winter weddings look so romantic and beautiful.
too I also have a scan booked for tomorrow, good luck with yours Wink
Still keeping my fingers crossed for green,blue and jane.

greenzebra · 29/08/2011 21:11

razz everytime I read your name I start sining razzle dazzle from chicago. It is from chicago isnt it?

AngelGeorgie · 29/08/2011 21:35

Good luck Razz and too .
Aqueous cream is fab I prescribe loads of it for my patients. It's used as an emollient but also as a soap subsitute . It's about £ 2 from Wilkinsons we recommend our patients wash with it for their genitals as soap and shower gel are too harsh for the genital area. Can also use it as a body moisturiser , particularly good to apply after shaving.
Too think it was you who asked?? As I m
too having an ELCS I m moisturising my pubic area like mad to aid healing post surgery.
Back to work tomorrow after a lovely bank holiday weekend of chilling. Urh.. Sad
FX Blue xx

TooImmature2BDumbledore · 29/08/2011 22:26

Grin at moisturising pubic zone! Hadn't thought of that, but will definitely bear in mind closer to the time! Thank you for the info, Angel and Green.

Every time I read Razz's name I think of my mum's horse Razz.

Good luck at your scan, Razz!

Blue, step away from those pee sticks until at least Thursday! It is way too early to be testing now!

Bluetinkerbell · 30/08/2011 09:40

Too I know it is Wink I know... I still have 6 sticks left Grin

Razz and Too good luck with the scans, thinking of you!

DiffedAgainDachs · 30/08/2011 09:55

Sorry i disappeared for ages - i was finding the IVF really hard to cope with after losing the twins so I started avoiding MN. But it worked! I'm 5+1 today - first scan next Monday. Will try to catch up on the thread history :)

green I think I will be joining you soon! think AF is coming here too... having periody like cramps... although could also be because I haven't been eating properly today... couldn't have breakfast, felt sick, so didn't have anything and been scoffing chocolates instead all morning...

OP posts:
MelMal · 30/08/2011 13:43
